Acharya Prashant explains that true participation with the divine or the beyond is not an ordinary activity but a form of non-doing, witnessing, or surrender. He suggests that instead of constantly moving forward and searching for God in front of us, we must step back or involute. By stepping back, we allow grace to work through us. He emphasizes that our habitual ways of doing have been functional for a long time but are ultimately unhelpful in this spiritual context. The speaker uses the metaphor of sleep to illustrate that relaxation and surrender are not choices but inevitable destinies. Just as a tired person eventually falls asleep regardless of their attempts to stay active, mankind must eventually stop its restless choosing and effort.
